There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Kitan Oladapo a full 40 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. On value alone, Robinson makes the weekend a net positive. The Packers indulged a want in Oladapo while a need in cornerback, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
In pick 30 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
A clean, defensible pick in No. 41 with a little surplus value in Kamren Kinchens. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
Chop Robinson at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 88
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on McKinnley Jackson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
They reached into another round for Darius Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
Bucky Irving at the 93rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
Cedric Gray at Round 4, Pick 25 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 166
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kitan Oladapo at safety with cornerback, quarterback and other spots open.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
Jaylen Wright at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 228
They liked J.J. Weaver enough to skip the value, taking him in the 217th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jeremy Flax · OT · rank 235
They jumped the gun on Jeremy Flax, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Evan Williams · S · rank 282
A real head-scratcher, Evan Williams in pick No. 246 is miles ahead of his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
